very difficult

The first part of this room is just pure fun. After that, we were so stressed 😂 This room is quite hard. There is a physical puzzle which is quite difficult and took us ~10 mins to complete which really threw us off. I'd still recommend this room, just be prepared for a challenge.

The fact that Molly Minerva managed to successfully escape in a team of 2 is actually unbelievable and her team must be a force to be reckoned with!

value for moneyquite difficult

Interesting beginning and mechanics. Theming could be better as feels like a room with casino things stuck on the wall rather than a proper casino

This room is well worth the drive to Workington, if you're a team of two then hype up on caffiene and/or sugar as youre going to need the energy, plus its got one of the best game openers I've experienced, its an absolute cracker.  Then to top it all its been specially built to be accessible. Its the must play room in the venue, but don't leave without playing the others!

This one seems to divide opinion somewhat and I can see why: there's an elevated level of challenge in here that makes it a tricky room, particularly if tackling it as a two and I can see how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea.

The start of this game is superb - it really adds to the immersion and is such a novel way to kick off a heist. Once in the casino, this is a game where subtle details count and we missed a few things because they were quite leftfield. Saying that, the 'a-ha!' moments were therefore all the more satisfying!
